A stunning tropical shell displayed on a handmade glossy black stand with a brass plaque engraved with the Latin name for the species that called this shell its home.

The Hexaplex Brassica, commonly known as the Rose Murex or Cabbage Murex, is a striking marine gastropod mollusk belonging to the family Muricidae, often referred to as murex or rock snails.

The Rose Murex's unique shell structure and potential coloration make it a prized specimen among shell collectors and marine decor enthusiasts. When mounted on a glossy black stand with a brass plaque, it serves as an elegant centerpiece, showcasing the natural beauty of marine life.

Shell Description

The shell is robust and globose, featuring multiple raised ridges that give it a cabbage-like appearance.
